Main Text Chapter 429: Home Education

Xiao Zhai.

After Xiao Feng returned, he told his teammates not to just focus on tempering their willpower; their levels should also gradually increase.

There are still many high-level dungeons in Zhu Shen Da Lu that no one has cleared.

For example, the underground palace beneath the freshwater lake in the northern part of War City, the Starlight Castle in Moon City, and so on.

Going through more battles is beneficial for everyone: not only can they sell gear for money, but they can also accumulate practical combat ability.

Once their experience is full, they can also ascend to Shen Jie earlier and go bully alien players together with him.

The Civilization Lord function is still rudimentary now, because the Civilization War hasn't started; he's just holding the title without any real authority.

Only when the Civilization War begins will he truly be considered to have taken the Lord's Throne, gaining the authority to coordinate the major guilds and command the war against the alien races.

Relatively speaking, all game content below level 250 belongs to the 'Novice Village' stage.

Many interesting gameplay features can only be gradually unlocked after leaving one's own civilization's plane and contacting higher-level worlds.

Zhang Fan and the others, having heard his suggestion, said they also planned to sweep through various dungeons above level 200, just to get a taste of seeing the war zone bulletin every day.

The five of them have a healer, a tank, and damage output; nothing is missing, so Xiao Feng doesn't need to worry—they can fully handle the vast majority of battles.

Now that everything is settled, Xiao Feng only has the final level‑rushing task left; reaching level 255 will allow him to leave Zhu Shen Da Lu.

However, after returning home, he did not immediately start cultivating; instead, he waited quietly.

Waiting for He Er Na to come back and get beaten!

"Father God, why aren't you cultivating today?"

Seeing him sitting idle with nothing to do, Dai Ni Si ran over and asked.

"I have something else to do today." he replied.

"Something else? Is it fun? Can you take me along?" Dai Ni Si said with a look of eager anticipation.

Xiao Feng thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Sure, you can come—but I'm afraid you won't dare."

"What do I have to be afraid of? I'm the Little God of Wealth!" Dai Ni Si said in a tone of fearlessness, patting her plump chest, full of confidence.

He chuckled lightly, didn't elaborate, and just said, "Alright, then I'll bring you later."

"Thank you, Father God~"

Dai Ni Si said happily, as if she had caught hold of some fun opportunity.

Right now, Mi Nie Ya is in the rear garden of Xiao Zhai, merging the demon heart; she's in a secluded bamboo grove, so she didn't come over to join the fun.

After waiting half an hour, He Er Na still hadn't returned.

Xiao Feng frowned slightly, used soul communication to ask, "Where did you run off to? Why are you so slow?"

Previously, crossing the East‑West Continent took less than twenty minutes, but this

return trip from Soul City—such a short distance—actually took half an hour without arriving, which feels off.

"This… Master, I think everything's over, so heading home shouldn't be rushed, which is why I flew a bit slower," He Er Na's voice echoed in his mind.

There was a timid tone to it.

It looks like she's afraid of punishment, so she deliberately slowed her flight speed.

Xiao Feng calmly replied, "You must be home within one minute; for every minute late, I'll add a hundred strikes."

"Ah?"

He Er Na startled, quickly sped up, and pleaded, "Master, I know I was wrong; I shouldn't have defied your orders. You can punish me by sending me out to fight, or to hunt demon gods… but please don't punish me with beatings, otherwise Dai Ni Si might see it and think we're quarreling, which would upset her."

"Beating?"

"That word… is a bit harsh."

Xiao Feng immediately said, "Don't worry, I will definitely hit, but I'll be gentle— I guarantee Dai Ni Si won't misunderstand."

"Ah?"

He Er Na froze for a moment, then stammered, "Ge… gentle, this…"

She trailed off, not knowing what she had just thought of.

Xiao Feng calmly replied, "It's already been thirty seconds—seize the moment."

"Mm… yes, Master, I'm coming back right away," He Er Na replied, her mind in turmoil.

She wanted to speed up, but feared that doing so would bring some strange punishment.

She wanted to go slower, but worried that delaying would make the punishment worse.

After a minute of indecision, she felt that 'long pain is worse than short pain,' so she decided to go faster.

Thus she pushed her speed to the limit, turning into a blue streak flying toward War City.

Soon she appeared inside Xiao Zhai.

Xiao Feng sat at the entrance of his residence, with his daughter Dai Ni Si beside him, gently massaging his legs—very obedient.

"You're three minutes late—three hundred extra strikes," Xiao Feng said flatly.

He Er Na's face fell: "Can't… you not do it in front of Dai Ni Si?"

Establishing a dignified Mother Goddess image is no easy task; she doesn't want to ruin it over a trivial matter.

Otherwise, what will she do if her daughter disobeys in the future!

"Why not in front of me? People want to watch~" Dai Ni Si asked; hearing that the Mother Goddess would be struck three hundred times, she felt a little excited and really wanted to see firsthand what it looks like when the formidable Mother Goddess gets hit.

This remark made He Er Na furious: "You little brat, what are you saying! Go play elsewhere—Mother Goddess and I are talking, don't interrupt here!"

"Wuu~ Father God, look, Mother Goddess is being mean to me~"

Dai Ni Si is no longer afraid of her at all, clinging to Xiao Feng's arm to tattle. With a backer, she fears nothing even if the sky falls.

"You!"

This scene made He Er Na quite angry; she stepped forward, wanting to pick up Dai Ni Si and give her a good scolding.

I didn't expect the young lady wouldn't pick it up; instead, my own hand got grabbed.

Xiao Feng grabbed her with one hand, stood up, and walked toward home.

As they walked, he said: "Don't try to divert attention; first settle your own affairs, then educate the child."

"Master?" He Er Na exclaimed in surprise.

She was pulled into the house in one go, then ran straight toward the upstairs bedroom.

This pace made her heart rate more than double in an instant, and she couldn't help but panic.

"There's a good show to watch!" Dai Ni Si excitedly followed behind, refusing to leave until she'd seen all the excitement.

Two in front and one behind, the three entered a spacious large room.

"Master, don't... first, first let Dai Ni Si go out, okay?"

He Er Na roughly guessed what Xiao Feng intended to do, her face flushed red, and she pleaded.

"I think it's unnecessary; also let her see the consequences of disobedience, so she'll behave better later." Xiao Feng's tone was a bit cruel, with a hint of malicious delight.

"But..."

He Er Na's face fell, and she pleaded via telepathy: "Please, Master, leave me some dignity; I accept whatever punishment you want, but please don't let Dai Ni Si watch. That's too... too..."

She couldn't utter the word "shame".

Xiao Feng originally intended to refuse mercilessly.

But after a moment's thought, Dai Ni Si is still a 7-year-old child; some things are indeed unsuitable for her to see.

Thus he agreed again: "Alright, since you've said all that, this time I'll leave you some dignity. If you dare to do it again... humph."

"Yes, thank you, Master; I dare not have a next time!" He Er Na, as if pardoned, immediately relaxed.

Then he put on a stern face, pulled Dai Ni Si, and directly threw her out of the room, then with a snap locked the door.

"Mother Goddess?"

"Father God?"

Suddenly driven out, Dai Ni Si opened her eyes wide, her face full of confusion, not understanding why Xiao Feng, the Father God who had just agreed to let her play together, suddenly changed his mind.

She pounded on the door, shouting: "Father God, didn't you say you'd take me to play? How can you go back on your word!"

"Damn it!"

After shouting for a while with no response, Dai Ni Si, angry, pouted her lips, simply stayed put, leaning against the door, wanting to use her ears instead of her eyes to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

However…… she heard nothing.

Because after driving her out, a soundproof spiritual barrier was erected inside.
